A
phish is an email message that falsely claims to be from an established
or legitimate enterprise. The message encourages recipients to click
on a link that will redirect their browsers to a fraudulent website
where the user is asked to update personal information such as passwords,
social security numbers, and credit card numbers in an attempt to
trick a recipient into providing private information that will be
used for identity theft.
When the content scanning feature
in ScanMail detects
a phish message, it can take the following actions:
-
Delete
entire message
ScanMail deletes
the entire message and Exchange does not deliver it.
-
Tag and deliver
ScanMail adds
a tag to the header information of the email message that identifies
it as phish and then delivers it to the intended recipient.
